Abstract

Design of an active optics system (a laser monitor) for enhanced imaging simultaneously in the visible and near-IR spectral regions is presented. Each frame is formed in the active medium of a manganese atom brightness amplifier for the time corresponding to the amplification (lasing) pulse, which is about 25 ns for the visible region and 35 ns for the IR. Images are recorded with digital cameras including those based on a Russian-made InGaAs sensor. Images of processes, which are accompanied by background radiation, formed by a single pulse of a manganese chloride brightness amplifier are shown for the first time.
